It could be prime 2016 with Kante and Mahrez in it and I'd still go WTF Rodgers has lost it. Seems to be a tactic that works. Now you mention it, yes, I'm preparing a complaint as well.

jeffschlupp Posted 3 November 2020 Share Posted 3 November 2020 Tielemans is long overdue a rest now, as is Fofana. Schmeichel Justin Morgan Evans Albrighton Choudhury Praet Thomas Under Iheanacho Maddison Subs: Ward, Jakupovic, Fofana, Fuchs, Mendy, Tielemans, Perez, Barnes, Vardy Would be satisfied with a draw here given we play Fulham after the away game so we could rest a few for the PL and go big in the EL instead.

FoxinNotts Posted 3 November 2020 Share Posted 3 November 2020 Rest a few 🤷🏻♂️ and go 4-2-3-1 Ward Justin Morgan Evans Thomas Choudhury Praet Under Perez Barnes Iheanacho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The whole world smiles Posted 3 November 2020 Share Posted 3 November 2020 surprised to see Ward in so many teams... Goalies don't need a rest and this is a massive game for us, we need Kasper's quality and leadership. Ward can have a couple of outings in Europe once qualification is secured. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted 3 November 2020 Share Posted 3 November 2020 Can't say I watch a lot of Portuguese football do don't know how Braga tend to set up, but I'd like to see Kelechi brought in and rest Vardy. Kelechi can hold the ball up well and we could have Barnes and Under running off him 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Captain... Posted 3 November 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 3 November 2020 I'd be prioritising this ahead of Wolves, win this then we are all but through, then we can ease off in the next three games. Wolves I obviously want us to win, but it's not the end of the world if we don't. It is much easier to make up 3 points over 38 matches than 6. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cruzFOX Posted 3 November 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 3 November 2020 no to resting Foffana! i know we're worried about our injury hoodoo right now but the kid is absolutely balling it out there. He's enjoying his football and shows no signs of fatigue. I say let him play a few more. Maybe rest up against a cup game. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like we were coasting with the exception of the period between their goal and our third to be honest. I think we'll be okay, especially with some inevitable rotation. Get the feeling we'll see Nacho and Under start on Thursday. My only concern re fitness would be Albrighton, who took a few knocks from their full back, but he seemed okay and I doubt he's gonna start twice in a week anyway.

Popular Post themightyfin Posted 3 November 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 3 November 2020 No way is Fofana being rested for this one. The boy is in a rhythm and the more games the better for him right now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vards cant play every three days all the time. Can't agree with that, EL before EPL then if we win on Thursday we can start resting players in the EL.

Deeg67 Posted 4 November 2020 Share Posted 4 November 2020 I would take a draw here, myself. Keeps us in position to potentially win the group, and hopefully we're healthier and better-rested by the time we play them a second time. Be very tempted to rest Fofana, because the lad has played a lot of football lately. But hard to see how we cobble together a back four without him. Especially since you almost have to rest Fuchsie here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good to give Mendy a rest if possible and also to give Nacho some time on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox in the North Posted 4 November 2020 Share Posted 4 November 2020 Brags fans are fairly complimentary about us in their pre match thread too https://www.superbraga.com/forum/index.php/topic,29038.msg734730.html?PHPSESSID=f3a031572dd1547991d7c2871b83e517#new 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue ROI Posted 4 November 2020 Share Posted 4 November 2020 Ideally you would like to have a scenario similar to West Ham away last season where you can rest the majority of the first team and get the win. If we do get 3 points tomorrow and Zorya/AEK draw then thats more or less qualification wrapped up. A win tomorrow more or less gets us into the next surely whatever happens after. Don't know a lot about Braga but Portugal has produced the odd gem in the 21st century so have to be on our toes. We had a tough game at home to Porto 4 years ago so could be something similar. But we're on a high and good enough to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
